STOCKTON - A criminal complaint against Lodi defense attorney Gary Hickey from 2013 will be amended with new charges that reflect recent arrests.

Hickey, who last week lost his campaign for San Joaquin County district attorney, appeared in court Monday for a hit-and-run resulting in property damage, when prosecutors said the state will file additional charges.

Hickey, 65, was arrested last week for the fifth time in two months and the sixth time in less than one year.

He was booked into the San Joaquin County Jail on suspicion of felony vandalism and public intoxication, but he was released the same day after posting a $23,000 bail.

The arrest was based on a report from a 50-year-old woman in the 1600 block of Fawn Haven Drive in Lodi, who said she came home to find her belongings thrown outside. Hickey was found walking toward the residence intoxicated, police said.

Another police report says Hickey assaulted a 50-year-old woman in May at the same listed residence, but Lodi police have said they could not confirm whether it was the same woman involved in each incident.

Lodi police forwarded three other reports to prosecutors. In April, Hickey was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence and later that month for allegedly assaulting a man, who suffered a hip dislocation during the fight. Hickey was arrested in May a separate time on suspicion of public intoxication.

County prosecutors passed the cases to the state attorney general because Hickey's bid for district attorney posed a conflict of interest.

The county District Attorney's Office stood in for state prosecutors Monday and asked for a continuance of the hearing. The state is expected to announce the new charges in court today.
